If it were true, I certainly wouldnt take it if I was Toronto, but it's close enough to what I would take that I think I deal would get done. I would ask for D'Arnaaud and Gose or May realizing I would get one of them and maybe a lesser prospect too.

I pm'd trent with the details and told him to keep it private so I can have another opinion to how valid the source is. Dont ask him or me as Im not giving out any more info as to the source.

That's the one and only way this possibility could get awesomer.

You see them dragging him out after the third false marker--

WAIT--I am worth more to you alive

Trent agrees that the info should be taken with much caveat, but hey it's worth discussing.

by **Grotewold** » Thu Dec 10, 2009 11:18:50

Can't tell if Rude is mind-effing the Jays or Cliff Lee

We win either way

Yes. I'm skepitcal, but not dismissive of the possibility that it could be accurate. Let's pretend it is accurate; more fun that way.

If they have to move Blanton and Happ to get this done...

Well, it would be exciting, but a decided risk. Maybe moving both increases the likelihood that they re-sign Pedro? Because it's hard to imagine they would go with a rotation of Halladay/Lee/Hamels/Moyer/Kendrick with no viable option for when either of the last two either flame out or get injured.

I know, I know, such recklessness worked for the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks.
